How healthy are bananas?

   Fruits are delicious for all of us of course. Some people like kumquat, others like apples, oranges and even pears. But there is one fruit that not only we enjoy, but we even share a similar DNA with. No joke. This is the popular banana.

 

   Strange to learn that we share a DNA with fruit by only 60%. Odd, but it is true It doesn't mean we're like a banana. No way, it just means there are similarities through our DNA as well as one from a banana. It's odd that a fruit like a banana has a DNA at all.

     There are different brands of bananas, but the most known are two. Del Monte brand and Chiquita Banana. Chiquita Banana started around the 1890's and focused mostly on certain foods. Their most popular food became the banana.

  Carmen Miranda was sponsoring the Chiquita company and danced bananas on her head. Anyone could fall in love with bananas after seeing them on a woman's head. Sadly, she died on the Jimmy Durante show from a heart attack. The logo for the Chiquta banana is to her likeness ever since.

 So....how healthy is the banana? It is loaded with potassium which we do need in our diet. Is full of Vitamin B as well as 31% of Calories in your diet. However, if you are allergic to latex, bananas might not be the fruit for you because of a reaction you'll get after eating a banana. But that is rare to some

  Bananas can improve your blood sugar as well as supporting your digestive system. If you want to lose some weight, bananas are the way to go (as well as some other fruits you love to eat) Bananas might make you feel like you are full and don't need any more to eat. It's the perfect snack between lunch and dinner.

    The riper the banana is, the better it will taste. But for me, I don't want it to be too ripe. I like to eat it before it ripens. I just like it better that way. It will taste weird, but it's still good even before it ripens. They are good for recopies like Banana bread banana pudding....

...banana bars with chocolate chip in them. Banana foster, bananas in pancakes. There is so many things you can do with a banana, all you have to do is peel and enjoy. Looking online, and in YouTube, you can learn recipies that are simple and healthy for you, so you don't have to order fried and greasy food.

  Fruit is good for you no matter what fruit you enjoy. For me, a simple banana will do. I enjoy it, it's healthy and it makes me feel good afterwards. Even if you it ends ripening, you can freeze and put them in a smoothie. Most fruits are made for that. Making smoothies, and bananas are one of them.

The all-mighty banana. Is it one of the healthiest fruits out there? Maybe, maybe not. There might be healthier fruits out there, but for me, I'll stick with the banana and enjoy its simple pleasures that were made for me, and others that love a yellow fruit.
